Old Deck Railing For Garden Storage

We replaced our old deck and railings. Most of the railings were in bad shape. We picked 2 sets out that were in fair shape, and put aside. Hmmmmmm? Because I spend a lot of time out side in the garden, Tool storage came to mind!.

The railing was cleaned and prep for painting.

This was left over paint from another project. There is plenty left for this project. Because this is outdoors, this exterior paint is perfect!

The railing was the painted 2 coats, dry.

We had extra wood that I would make a added detail (sign).

I choose to paint it pink. It will be used on the back of my crafting /garden cottage which is a theme color throughout.

We pre drilled holes and added hooks sturdy for tools. The railing was placed on the back of my cottage building. This is a great space saver, and very accessible for me in the garden.

This is a great use of recycle and reclaimed pieces that give a second life and also become a functional piece .

Suggested materials:

• Old wood railing, scrape wood, paint  (on hand)
• Hooks  (lowes)
